Caleb Williams emerged as one of the best college football quarterbacks immediately upon his debut. He took over for Spencer Rattler and became the star of the Oklahoma Sooners offense then followed Lincoln Riley to the USC Trojans. While Williams doesn’t become draft-eligible until 2024, NFL scouts have already taken notice of his talents.

Williams, a 247 Sports’ five-star recruit in 2021, immediately put the nation on notice as a true freshman. He scored 27 total touchdowns and posted a 169.6 QB rating with over 400 yards on the ground and nearly 2,000 through the air.

After enrolling at Oklahoma because of Riley’s system and his ability to develop NFL-caliber quarterbacks, Williams followed his head coach to USC. The passing attack is living up to expectations in their first season with the Trojans’ offense.

Williams is among the top Heisman Trophy candidates this season and USC is in the running for the College Football Playoff. While the Trojans are focused on the remainder of the 2022 season, NFL talent evaluators are already thinking ahead to Williams’s future away from USC.
